The tax man is here again. But have no fear, the student income
tax clinicw will save the day.

The University Students’ Council is holding income tax
clinics for students from Mar. 15 to 19 in residences, and
Mar. 22 to 26 in the University Community Centre. The clinics
are free to all students and run by volunteers. “All
volunteers are trained by Canada Customs and Revenue Agency
officers on how to file taxes,” said Geraldine Goco,
the USC Income Tax Commissioner.

Every student at Western must file their taxes regardless
of whether they have worked in the last year.

According to Goco, last year’s clinic filed taxes for
400 students, and this year she hopes to increase that number
by holding clinics in both residences and the UCC.

Martin’s visit is prompted by the opportunity to participate

Office, adding the roundtable will include Martin’s parliamentary
secretary and member of Parliament for London North Centre
Joe Fontana, along with members of the community and the university.

The roundtable will be taking place on campus in the Great
Hall at Somerville House, today at 3:45 p.m..

“He’s been travelling for a while now as prime
minister,” the spokesperson said. “Right now he
wants to hear what Canadians have to say.”

According to the spokesperson, the stop at Western is a part
of a series of roundtables Martin has been taking part in.
His next stop will be in St. Thomas. “This is his first
trip to Western as prime minister,” the spokesperson
added.

Topics of discussion for the roundtable will include university
accessibility, research and policy and relations with the community.
